Apology Letter

Dear Mr Stroheim,

I am truly sorry for the way i acted earlier, i have been going through a rough time lately, my father just got laid off so therefore i am the only income in my household. I have no idea what i was thinking i just did what i did because you were the only person around me that i can actually let my anger out on even though it wasn't the best way to let it out.

I really need this job back and i know i messed up but i promise you i wont do it again, i am begging you for this job back i have already let down my family a lot and all i know is that if i do not get this job back i will not only let down my family but we will loose our home and all the other necessities needed as well.
